Mandy took her first dance lesson at age five in her hometown, Danville, VA, and she has been dancing ever since. As an undergraduate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, she performed with 3Spot Dance Troupe until she moved to Chicago in 2004. She continues to attend dance classes and workshops throughout the city and performs as a member of Matter Dance Company. Mandy was thrilled to become a company member of Innervation Dance Cooperative in 2008. When she's not dancing, you'll find her at a rock 'n' roll show, practicing Pilates, resale shopping, or otherwise having fun.
